Mini sausage rolls

Hi!

On Sunday I baked mini sausage rolls.

As a child, when my mother baked them I was always super happy. I loved them and I still do!



My son loves them too. As long as there is a sausage as a main ingredient is everything perfect (we live in Germany...).

There are no secrets to make the sausage rolls. It's easy and tasty.

Ingredients:
  • 1 package of puff pastry
  • 8 sausages (I used Bockwurst)
  • 1 egg
Unroll the pastry and cut it in triangles.
Cut the sausages in 4 (each sausage is cc. 15-16 cm long) and then roll each pastry triangle around each piece of sausage.
Glaze with egg and bake at 200°C (pre-heated oven) for about 20-30 minutes. 

I love them!

Enjoy!


Until next time!

Omelette with mushrooms and Brussels sprouts

Hi

Yesterday I was looking in the freezer for something to cook and I found a few Brussels sprouts. Really only a few... and I decided to cook an omelette.

The result: omelette with mushrooms and Brussels sprouts.



Ingredients:
  • a few mushrooms
  • a few Brussels sprouts
  • 3 eggs
  • milk (to whisk the eggs)
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
Put a little olive oil in a pan. When hot, add the sliced mushrooms and some salt. Sauté.



Add the Brussels sprouts, cut in half, and sauté.



In the meanwhile, whisk the eggs with a little bit of milk and some pepper.



Pour the eggs into the pan, cover and simmer over low heat until the eggs become solid at the surface (about 15-20 minutes). Then turn  over onto a plate.

Slide the omelet back into pan to golden the other side. Leave another 5 to 10 minutes, according to taste.



And here is the result:



Beautiful and tasty!

And here is a photo slideshow:



Do you like it? I certainly do!


Until next time!
